Sarkozy and drinking
He said, only half tongue-in-cheek, that people in his industry were distrustful of Sarkozy because, like George Bush, Sarkozy doesn't drink.
Well many speculated that he was drunk here:

It's actually a bit funny. Of course one of the reporters that made a reference to him possibly being drunk recanted a day later. With what little I've followed up on the French elections, I have wondered if some of the French rushed to judge Sarko and if some of the reporting on him were more speculative-based as opposed to reality-based (aka his "skum" comment - that sounded like it was taken to another level). However we have yet to see how Sarkozy's agenda pans out. Maybe we should withhold judgement till we see more of where his plans lead France. Who knows? It may not be so bad after all.
